Can't Find Troubleshoot Guide. Help!

Post by BrotherHanan »

Hi folks!

Some files that I definitely have are missing from my search. Is there a guide somewhere, so I can troubleshoot this issue? I've done searches and looked through the pinned "support" posts by void, but I don't think I saw anything for this... If so, can someone please direct me?

Note: I have about 8TB of files between 6 internal and external drives, in case that is relevant.

Thanks so much!
